We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Maureena Johnson (Risk), age 80, on Sunday February 28, 2021 at the TBRHSC.
Maureena was born on July 31, 1940 in Nipigon, Ontario where she grew up and went to school. She made many moves and later settled in Thunder Bay, retiring from Abitibi. She enjoyed curling in her younger years. Being surrounded by family and friends was what gave Maureena the most joy.
Maureena will be lovingly remembered by her life partner Gary McCourt; their baby LULU; sisters Vianna, Jolene, Patricia (Kenneth); brother Gibson (Jeannette); as well as many nieces and nephews.
Maureena, Gary and Lulu worked hard at Lac Des Milles Lac where they ran a successful ice fishing business. They were blessed with meeting and gaining numerous friends over the years. There were so many great times at Lac, which held a special place in her heart. So many wonderful people and we thank you for being a part of Maureena’s life.
